Chapter 711: Opening the Third Profound Aperture (First update, requesting everything)

Compared to before he left, the Paradise Bird's body size had grown much larger, with a body length already exceeding thirty meters, and its aura even surpassed that of a Leader-level beast.

"Demon King level or Pseudo-Demon King level?"

Li Zhangsheng was somewhat hesitant and began to check the Paradise Bird's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Paradise Bird (Mature Stage, Demi-God Beast, comprehends Mystery, significantly enhances skill power; Mystery Guard: exempts partial damage, mainly depending on the opponent's realm.)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon King 1st Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Intermediate Sovereign

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Chongming Bird (Vigorous)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Light

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Darkness

"It really broke through to Demon King!"

Li Zhangsheng had not expected his luck to be this good this time.

Although the Paradise Bird belonged to the Demi-God Beast category, it had, after all, evolved step by step from a Paradise Bird; even if it reached maturity, it could not possibly reach the Demon King level 100% of the time like those naturally born Demi-God Beasts.

If the Paradise Bird had only been Leader-level before its evolution, how could it have suddenly skipped over the Lord-level to become a Demon King-level spirit pet after evolving? This was the difference between innate and acquired.

Of course, this slight difference did not hinder the Paradise Bird from achieving Demon King level, nor would it affect its combat power.

Following the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon, the Paradise Bird became Li Zhangsheng's second temporary Demon King-level spirit pet.

With this, Li Zhangsheng now possessed eight Half-Demon King-level spirit pets; he was now fully confident in contending with those Sovereigns who lacked Saint Grade Spirit Pets.

Spirit King Liu Yongtu was a jinx; if he could still control the Secret Realm, he wouldn't have ended up in such a crushing defeat, and at the very least, his spirit pet's combat power would have increased significantly.

Taking a step back, even if he couldn't win, he could have hidden in the Secret Realm and not come out.

Unless the Chi Dragon advanced to the Demon King level or absorbed the Spirit Essence of a space-type Divine Beast, Li Zhangsheng had no ability to break the Secret Realm's space and could only be at a loss.

Additionally, during this evolution, the Paradise Bird also comprehended a Bloodline Inheritance Skill.

Universal Salvation: A group recovery skill that can quickly restore the injuries of spirit pets within a certain range; it is the group recovery skill with the most significant effect.

As the group recovery skill with the most significant effect, the practical combat utility of Universal Salvation was naturally very strong.

"As expected, another support skill."

Li Zhangsheng shook his head and chuckled; every time the Paradise Bird comprehended a Bloodline Inheritance Skill, it was of the support type. It could not only add health, defense, and buffs, but also dispel negative status effects—it was simply a top-tier support.

After recalling the Paradise Bird, Li Zhangsheng began to refine the spirit pet corpses he had obtained this time.

There were not many spirit pet corpses this time, but most were quite precious, the most precious of which was naturally the corpse of the Qin Yuan.

Li Zhangsheng naturally could not waste them; with the assistance of his spirit pets, he quickly processed these corpses and collected a batch of materials that could not be used to refine Spirit Essence.

These corpses were refined one by one and finally smelted into various types of Spirit Essence, which Li Zhangsheng continuously collected.

In less than an hour, Li Zhangsheng finished the refining.

In addition to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Spirit Essence, he had also collected a full jar of Ancestral Red Dragon Essence Blood.

Li Zhangsheng's juvenile Red Dragon Sylvanas only had Pure Grade Ancestral Red Dragon Bloodline; it could indeed be improved, though he did not know if its quality could be enhanced.

"Kailan, help me take this jar of Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Spirit Essence to Bizhen."

As in the past, Ning Bizhen still did not get involved in the process of refining Spirit Essence.

"Alright!"

Kailan took the Jade Ceramic Jar and transformed into a green Residual Shadow, quickly disappearing into the night sky.

"Sylvanas, drink it!"

After Kailan left, Li Zhangsheng summoned the juvenile Red Dragon and opened the Jade Ceramic Jar containing the Ancestral Red Dragon Essence Blood.

The Red Dragon couldn't wait to open its dragon mouth and took a forceful breath; the entire Jade Ceramic Jar flew up directly and fell into its mouth.

Crunch—

The Red Dragon casually bit the Jade Ceramic Jar to pieces; not afraid of choking, it swallowed the jar fragments and the Ancestral Red Dragon Essence Blood entirely, without wasting a single drop.

After finishing, the Red Dragon licked the corners of its mouth, lay on the ground with a lingering sense of satisfaction, and wore a contented expression.

The next moment, Sylvanas felt as if the blood in its body were boiling; the Ancestral Red Dragon Essence Blood began to merge into its blood, rapidly increasing its bloodline concentration.

Not long after, scorching flames emerged from Sylvanas's body surface and rapidly spread outward.

While Sylvanas's bloodline concentration was increasing, Li Zhangsheng summoned Baitian and Heiye.

Li Zhangsheng took out the Great Zhou Heaven Light Jade and handed it directly to Baitian to consume.

Baitian and Heiye possessed the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote; as long as Baitian absorbed the Great Zhou Heaven Light Jade, barring any accidents, Heiye would also receive a corresponding improvement, equivalent to having absorbed the Great Zhou Heaven Darkness Jade.

Baitian began to absorb the Great Zhou Heaven Light Jade; its body surface was shrouded in rich holy light, and crackling sounds began to ring out from its entire body, as if its body were being tempered.

During the absorption process, the Great Zhou Heaven Light Jade was also slowly shrinking.

Li Zhangsheng did not wait for the result; he went straight into the bedroom, took out the jar of Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood he had purified earlier, and prepared to begin the Third Profound Aperture.

He once again performed his one-second undressing routine; the next moment, the Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood in the Jade Ceramic Jar turned into a blood-colored line and landed on his right chest.

The moment it made contact, a blurry pattern began to emerge on Li Zhangsheng's chest.

Li Zhangsheng immediately formed seals with his hands, and his Vigorous Mental Power circulated according to the method of the Xuanji Nine Transformations.

The Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood rapidly circulated along the meridians in his body, quickly permeating his limbs and bones, constantly tempering his physical body.

Different Divine Beast Essence Blood had different tendencies for improvement after absorption; Basalt Essence Blood easily enhanced defense, Hundred-Armed Giant Essence Blood was better at enhancing strength, while the Five-colored Peacock tended toward agility.

During the tempering process, Li Zhangsheng felt as if his body had become lighter; this was actually an illusion, as his body had not become lighter at all, but rather his physical agility was constantly improving.

Besides agility, Li Zhangsheng's physical strength was also continuing to rise.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, once he absorbed all of the Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood, his physical strength would be thirty percent stronger than before, beginning to approach that of a Sovereign who possessed a Saint Grade Spirit Pet.

Like the Pseudo-King, a Sovereign also had several stages, mainly related to the number of Saint Grade Spirit Pets they possessed.

The more Saint Grade Spirit Pet a monarch has, the stronger their physical body becomes.

As time passed, the pattern on Li Zhangsheng's right chest became increasingly clear; it was a five-colored peacock pattern with its head tilted back, letting out a long cry.

After a quarter of an hour, less than half a jar of Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood remained, and Li Zhangsheng's physical body finally began to tremble, though the amplitude was not large.

With his current physical strength, he could absorb an entire jar of Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood at once.

It took less than half an hour in total for the last trace of Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood to be absorbed into Li Zhangsheng's body.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng's veins were bulging all over his body, and the Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood moved continuously within him, like earthworms constantly wriggling about.

Once his physical strength stopped increasing, under Li Zhangsheng's control, all the Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood in his body gathered at his Third Profound Aperture, and his flesh, blood, and bones began to glow with intense gold, cyan, red, black, and yellow Five-Colored Light Swords.

Suddenly, a relatively clear phantom of a five-colored peacock appeared above Li Zhangsheng's head, its whole body radiating five-colored light, its long, beautiful neck tilted back as if emitting a silent cry.

Within a few breaths, the five-colored peacock phantom turned into a streak of Five-Colored Light Swords, charging straight into Li Zhangsheng's Yintang acupoint and disappearing.

Li Zhangsheng opened his previously closed eyes, and the image of a five-colored peacock appeared in the depths of his pupils, only to vanish in an instant.

Crackle, pop!

As soon as Li Zhangsheng stood up, his whole body emitted sounds like popping beans, and he was filled with explosive power.

Li Zhangsheng immediately drank a bottle of Life Water in one breath, feeling a wave of comfort throughout his body as his state quickly returned to its peak.

Upon returning to the backyard, Sylvanas was still lying on the ground, but its body length had grown to about thirty-five meters, and its realm had smoothly reached Lord 9th Rank. It was currently pushing toward the threshold of the Mystery, wanting to become a Demon Beast in one step.

On the other side, Baitian had already finished absorbing the Great Zhou Heaven Light Jade; its body size had not changed much, but its aura had increased by another thirty percent.

As Li Zhangsheng expected, the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote had exerted its effect again; Heiye was wrapped in black light, and its aura was slowly strengthening.

Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but look at Baitian's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Dawn Light Cat (Growth Stage, absorbed Great Zhou Heaven Light Jade, increases this Demon Pet's physical fitness by 20%, and significantly increases damage against Darkness-attribute Demon Pets. Comprehended Mystery, significantly enhances skill power; Mystery Guard: exempts some damage, mainly depending on the opponent's realm.) 【Light-Dark Twin Symbiote... avoiding filler words】

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon King 3rd Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Medium Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Epic 【Guaranteed to be able to break through to Demon King level, slightly increases the probability of breaking through to Demon Saint level】

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Pale Cat (Rich)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Light

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None 【Mysterious Jade Ginseng eliminated the attribute weakness】

Just like the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit, the Great Zhou Heaven Light Jade can also increase physical fitness by 20%.

The difference is that the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit can make up for one's foundation and avoid congenital deficiencies, while the Great Zhou Heaven Light Jade significantly increases damage against Darkness-attribute Demon Pets.

As for the Great Zhou Heaven Darkness Jade, it naturally significantly increases damage against Light-attribute Demon Pets.

In the future, once Baitian deals with Darkness-attribute Demon Pets, or Heiye deals with Light-attribute Demon Pets, unless their opponents have had their weaknesses eliminated by the Mysterious Jade Ginseng, it will simply be a disaster for them.

During the observation, Heiye also finished digesting its gains this time; except for the attribute, its data was exactly the same as Baitian's.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, proof!
